CIA = DOUBLE AGENTS planted by SADDAM HUSSEIN.

[LynnTheDem]

Perle wasn't about to provide the apology Rep. Jones (R) sought. He disavowed any responsibility for his confident prewar assertions about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, heaping the blame instead on "appalling incompetence" at the CIA.

"There is reason to believe that we were sucked into an ill-conceived initial attack aimed at Saddam himself by double agents planted by the regime. And as we now know the estimate of Saddam's stockpile of weapons of mass destruction was substantially wrong."

Excuse me one minute...*choke*...ROTFLMAO...*gasp*

OK I'm back...so Hussein set up intell saying he had WMD, even though the intell MOST USED BY BUSH was from Hussein's own son-in-law who also in his report said -although bush never did- that Hussein had ordered the destruction of all Iraq's "WMD" by 1994.

The #1 intell source used by cheney & his asshole pal perle was...CHALABI. Yeah, Chalabi & his top aide's brother CURVEBALL were HUSSEIN PLANTS. rotflmao!!! *snort*

So all the years Hussein said Iraq had NO WMD was just a triple double bluff. Uh huh.

So Hussein planted this intell saying Iraq had WMD, knowing bush would then invade & occupy Iraq, and overthrow Iraq's government...ie Hussein himself...JUST TO MAKE BUSH LOOK BAD?

ROTFLMAO!!!

If people weren't dead & dying from the incredible stupidity of these motherfuckers, this would be the single most hilarious fuck-up of all time.

Edited to add an oldie but a goodie on their first attempt to peddle this ludicrous bullshit:

The Bush Cartel Takes the American Public for Fools: Now They Say Saddam "Duped" Them Into Believing He Had WMD's. You Wouldn't Accept This Sort of Inept Lying From a Five-Year-Old.

1. Not a fuck-up, but rather a clear indication of MIHOP bu BushCo

[emad]

2. CIA WMD intelligence was crap. Fiasco of Adrich Ames aftermath

still making the CIA look like bunch of amateurs, especially after FBI busted Bob Hanssen, convicyed for spying for the Russians using a network of Opus Dei contacts.......

[LynnTheDem]

3. Really??? CIA said NO ties to 911; NO ties to al Qaeda; NO ties to

any other international terrorist organizations; NO nukes; NO threat; and they very clearly stated they DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE about Iraq having any chem or bio weapons.

NONE of the above is what BUSH, CHENEY, RUMSFAILED, RICE, PEARLE et al said.

[emad]

5. CIA has been badly compromised by the Adrich Ames and later

Bob Hanssen biz. But the role of Bushco in spooks'dirty tricks is also notable.

The roles on Bush Jr, Cheney and Wolfowitz may have played a seminal role in this.

8. and hanssen was THE rightwingnut!

the fukking epitome of a reagan loving hung ho rambo america apple pie eyed wingnut 'lawman'(i read a book about him)...it was his vicious rightwing antics that gave him clout in the fbi and protected him...hahaha...the fbi literally crapped each others panties hiding the truth from the american people gasping and sweating and hyperventlating as they did so (helped by rightwingnut mediawhores every bit as depraved and dishonest as hanssen)...people should also check out the miller murder case from the reagan era. reagan tax lawyer, a big shot in california gop; his son tortured RAPED and then murdered his mother, a friend of ronnie and nancy. It was the biggest news story since ...well tiny tim's wedding, and poor lil palo alto calif was overrun (the satelite trucks were in a line a mile long) wow!. Then...nothing! the story disappeared. Even the alternative press never mentioned it. To this day, few people have even heard of it. The son got hospital time (he was not guilty by reason etc)...these stories prove that the media has always been results driven, and bush has simply aggravated a trend so blatantly it might become intolerable to ordinary people ie the people

9. Hanssen and Opus Dei v. bad news for Bushco.

4. Hey, I've told worse. No I haven't.

"So Hussein planted this intell saying Iraq had WMD, knowing bush would then invade & occupy Iraq, and overthrow Iraq's government...ie Hussein himself...JUST TO MAKE BUSH LOOK BAD?"

It could happen. Really. God, it just defies contemplation it's so bad.

And who's calling them on it? Oh, that's right, nobody.

[Old and In the Way]

6. Totally agree.....whatta joke.

This administration was hellbent on invading Iraq, even before they stole the office in 2000. Open Cheney's secret energy meetings to find the planning for this war and occupation. The CIA was clearly throwing up flags that there was not enough information for this administration to make a causus belli....but they'd have none of that. They manufactured their own intel and distorted what little the CIA could offer. And how many times did we hear the UN say there were no WMD?

Sorry, this is pure CYA....the neo-cons are looking for cover now that their plan has turned to shit. And like the traitorous bastards they are, they are willing to wreck our intelligence service to protect their imperialist asses. What they are doing to this country will have incredible consequences for decades to come.

They ought to be arrested, impeached, and jailed for the rest of their miserable lives.

7. "double agents planted by the regime"

He's right as far as that goes. Only it was the regime in Iran by all indications, not Iraq.

And, of course, 'sucked' is laughably inaccurate, judging by the record documenting from January 2001 forward President aWol's clear intent to wage aggressive war against Iraq. We hung guys after WWII for that.

[applegrove]

10. CIA didn't have long term sleeper agents in Iraq because Iraq was

an allie! Rumsfield visited. Saddam was a great friend of Bush Sr.

11. But Bush is an inept lying little five year old, who....

Has never been held reponsible for anything he has fucked up.
